Part 23 The Mirage Cave

Chapter 47: The Mirage Cave

Huan Yi felt that his whole body was about to be shaken apart, and before his eyes opened, his ears were almost deafened by Zhang Xiao's crying voice, "Brother Huan, Brother Huan, wake up quickly! Why haven't you woken up yet? You can't leave me alone to die." Huan Yi sighed lightly in his heart, I really don't know if this is good or not. He closed his eyes and was trying to check whether his body was okay with his luck, but he felt a heat approaching his face, and hurriedly opened his eyes, Zhang Xiao's baby face was pressing over, ready to breathe for him mouth-to-mouth. Huan Yi was in a hurry, pushed him away and sat up, and scolded angrily: "What do you want to do!" Zhang Xiao was also startled by Huan Yi's sudden awakening, and when he saw that he was fine, he smiled and said: "You are alive!

Huan Yi glanced at him, looked around, and saw that they were in a deserted place covered with yellow sand, and there was nothing around them. He asked Zhang Xiao: "There are only two of us here?" Zhang Xiao replied: "Yes, no one answered when I shouted loudly." ”

Huan Yi raised his eyes to look at the lifeless sun in the sky and said, "Are we out of the hole?"

Zhang Xiao scratched his head and said in a sneer: "It doesn't seem to be... ”

"Doesn't seem to have it? Where did the sun come from?"

"That's the sun, it's not the sun," Mr. Zhang said.

"What do you want to say?"

"There is a spectacle in our desert called a mirage, which reflects the scenery from far away into the sky. That is to say, the sun we see is reflected here in the sun that we don't know where. This dusky sky is not a sky, I think it should be the top of the cave, don't believe me to shoot to show you. Zhang Xiao said and took out a short crossbow and shot an arrow at the sky. After a while, the arrow landed not far away. Huan Yi looked at the place where the arrow fell in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao pursed his lips helplessly at him, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground and showed him. The sand was very fine and dry, Huan Yi looked at him puzzled, and Zhang Xiao said: "This sand seems to be the sand of our Haiqing." Seeing that Huan Yi didn't understand, Zhang Xiao then explained: "Our Haiqing country has many salt lakes, cold and windy, fine sand and salty content, I was named the king of Suhai when I was seven years old, and I can smell every grass and tree in Haiqing." Zhang Xiao rubbed the sand in his hand carefully, as if reminiscing about the nostalgia of his homeland.

Huan Yi asked: "Suhai is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, why did you transport the sand here and hide it in the cave?"

"I wonder about this, too. We Haiqing have treasures, but we have made the sand of the Gobi to do something. Zhang Xiao didn't have a solution. But even if it weren't for the sand of Suhai, other places with deserts wouldn't be close to Jingzhou.

Huan Yi patted off the fine sand on his shirt and said, "Let's go, take a look around." ”

No matter which direction they went, they all returned to their original places, marked by the falling arrow. It can't be said that nothing was found, and after a few turns, at least one feather and two pointed tooth bones were picked up. Zhang Xiao held up the feathers and tooth bones, and said proudly: "This is the feather of Hai Dongqing, a flying eagle unique to Haiqing, and this tooth is also the tooth of the wolf green that our family raises, which means that this sand is from our Su Hai." Let me tell you, this Haidongqing is the divine eagle of our Gobi, recognizing the Lord and knowing the way. The wolf is even more powerful, and one can only deal with a group of wolves. You have to take them with you every time you go out hunting. Zhang Xiao said to himself with great interest, "What's the use of this, even if this is your Suhai Kingdom, can you let your people rescue us?" Huan Yi was a little deflated, everyone else was not here, it seemed that the colorful pillar of light had separated everyone from different places, where did Han Yue go?

Huan Yi glanced at Zhang Xiao, who was still playing with the two canine teeth, and said, "Stop playing, you still have to think about how to get out of this man-made Gobi." I can't go out, and it won't be long before I die of thirst here. ”

Wave after wave of heat made the palm hat breathless. He felt suffocated and tried to cough but his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. The smell of gunsmoke, could it be that he was back on the battlefield? He subconsciously wanted to touch the long-sided sword, but fortunately the sword had been held tightly in his hand. He said to himself that no matter what he saw, he had to be calm, after all, he was the head of an army.

When I opened my eyes, there was indeed smoke in front of me, but it was not the smoke of the battlefield, but the steaming heat of the geothermal heat. There are red rocks everywhere, and you can feel the temperature of the ground through the armor. He barely managed to stand up with the heavy sword in his hand. Palmed Fox was still lying on the ground, and he hurried over to help him up, Palm's face was already hot red on the hot ground. They didn't bring any water, and Palmsa remembered that there were still pills left that Han Yue had fed him, so he hurriedly took them out and stuffed them into Palm's mouth. After a while, the palm of the hand woke up.

They were in a cave with hot lava flowing everywhere, and even the swords in their hands were starting to burn. Where the hell is this, what about the others? Palm Flak woke up and saw that his master was safe, and he grinned that he had begun to be violent. Palmsa asked, "Can you still stand up?" Palmsa nodded, helping the two of them to stand up slowly. But the heat rises, and it gets hotter when you stand up. The two of them had to crouch down again with their swords.

The two of them crouched down and looked around vigilantly, and it seemed that the others had not landed here. But how to get out, before being roasted. "If we can land, it means that there must be an exit. Palmsha patted Zhangfu's shoulder vigorously, and Zhangli nodded firmly.

Half a cup of tea had passed since the silver-haired man went into the water, and the water had not moved, and Han Yue, who was usually calm, began to wrinkle, holding the silver-haired man's clothes, staring at the water surface.

With an uproar, caught off guard, Han Yue was splashed with water. A figure jumped out of the water, like a dragon out of the sea, turned around in the air, and landed on the ice more than a foot away. He shook off the water on his long braid, Han Yue hurriedly went over to put on his clothes, untied his sweat towel and handed it to him to wipe the water. The silver-haired man said as he tied his clothes, "There is turbulence under the water, and it should lead to a dark river." "You mean you can swim out? "Han Yue means, but I don't know water. The silver-haired man showed a weird smile again: "Does Prince Luochuan also dare not do things?" Han Yue smiled bitterly, there were too many things he didn't dare to do.

The silver-haired man said, "Close your eyes and hold your breath", grabbed Han Yue's arm violently, and couldn't help but pull him into the water again. Before Han Yue could react, he felt surrounded by warm water, which turned out to be much warmer underwater than on the ice. He felt like he was being dragged underwater. I don't know how long Han Yue's chest has been suffocating, he can't help but open his mouth and breathe. At this moment, a soft object blocked his mouth, and then sent it into his mouth in one breath. He was startled, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the silver-haired man was mouth-to-mouth, giving himself breath. Han Yue's heart was sour, and he closed his eyes again, relaxed his body, and imagined himself as a fish.

Han Yue's relaxation of his body relieved the silver-haired man of a lot of burden, he took advantage of the situation to change his posture, wrapped his hands around Han Yue's waist, let him stick to his body, and followed the increasingly turbulent current, quickly carrying him to the depths of the water like a mermaid.

The sand is moving, at first slowly and imperceptibly, then faster and faster. Zhang Xiao exclaimed: "Quicksand, it's quicksand!" For people who grew up in the desert, although they had not personally experienced quicksand, Zhang Xiao didn't know how terrible it was to hear about quicksand. The two of them ran desperately towards the quicksand, but the fine sand under their feet flowed faster and faster, at first they ran three steps back and two steps, and then they were simply dragged back by the quicksand.

Seeing that they were about to be swallowed by the quicksand pit, the sand suddenly stopped, and then they felt their bodies become wet, and when they looked down, the sand beneath them became wet at some point. They laboriously pulled their legs out of the sand and mud, climbed to a relatively high place, and looked back to see that the sand pit was seeping out little by little, and the speed was very fast, and in a short time a small pool was gathered.

"There is water! we are saved!" Zhang Xiao was about to run over to drink water, but was stopped by Huan Yi and said, "Wait a little longer." After a while, the big bunker in front of me turned into a sea. Huan Yi was afraid that the water was poisonous, but Zhang Xiao couldn't manage it so much, so he took a sip of it, but it was not enjoyable, so he simply plunged his head into the water and was happy. Huan Yi was already hungry and thirsty, so he also took a few sips of water and felt much better. The two of them fell on their backs beside Haizi, and Zhang Xiao sighed with emotion: "Haiqing's Haizi recognizes the Lord, I can't bear to see us die of thirst here!" The two looked up and found that the dim mirage hanging on the top of the cave had deviated at some point, and the cave had become dim, and the sky would be full of stars after a while. Huan Yi said: "There are also stars in the cave that can't move?"

At this time, there was a slight noise in the sea, and the two of them turned over vigilantly, and there were ripples in the waves of the sea, and a small whirlpool appeared, the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, and the rotation was getting faster and faster, and something rose in the center of the whirlpool. Zhang Xiao couldn't say anything, and raised his hand to shoot two arrows at the object. Poof, it looks like it's been shot. The thing fell to the sand and rolled a few times. Zhang Xiao and Huan Yi walked over with swords to see where the monster was. It was clearly two people hugging each other, their wet clothes covered with sand.

Seeing that it was a person, Zhang Xiao suddenly became much bolder, holding a short crossbow and asking loudly: "Who are you!" A familiar voice said: "Huan Yi, it's me." "Han Yue! Huan Yi is too familiar with this voice, although it is much weaker. He hurriedly drank Zhang Xiao, ran over and then Starlight saw that one of the two was Han Yue, and the one holding him was the silver-haired man.

One of the two crossbow arrows was shot at the man's right shoulder, and the arrows were not more than halfway deep. Another arrow grazed one of his calves. It seems that he used his body to protect Han Yue just now.
